Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1742: Odd Changes.

The words of her god rang clear in her mind, and she acted on them immediately. She pointed at him and said, “You fool. Do you think the divine ordainment will rob the strong of their chance at power? You thought wrong. The divine ordainment method only cuts short the bloodshed by going straight to the end and choosing who will win. The divine ordainment method is a boon to use from the gods. It is not unfair and unjust.”

She didn’t think the gods could be wrong, and she didn’t question them at all. Her faith was full, as was her confidence as she spoke.

Her voice rose with that confidence. “But don’t you worry. You will see for yourself soon how wrong you have been. Everyone will see the glory of the 9 Crowns soon.”

Then she walked up to a certain orc in the crowd. This orc is just a hunter in the tribe. She is strong and has the intention to challenge one of the 12 council members for their position, but she has never done so. She is not among the council members, so she is not considered one of the strongest of the Tuskin Tribe. But Warshaw went up to her, grabbed her hand, and raised it up so everyone could see.

She proclaimed with the same loud voice, “The gods have spoken. She will be the next chief of the tribe.”

Everyone was stunned, including the hunter who was selected. But Warshaw only nodded calmly.

“We will return for the battle on the morning of the day after tomorrow, as is customary. Take tomorrow to prepare for your defeat and demise.”

Then Warshaw began her march back to her encampment. She dragged the hunter with her. She only stopped to speak with the chief, whose mouth was still open.

“I want you to come over as soon as possible. Don’t keep me or the gods waiting.”

Then she resumed her match. Everyone watched her go, still stunned and shocked. They wanted to laugh, but no one dared to. They didn’t want to blaspheme the gods if they are real, and they didn’t want to make fun of an old orc with lose screws. But that restraint didn’t last long. People began laughing and talking after she left.

Only Chief Hogglings was quiet. He was still thinking about the things he saw. Warshaw didn’t spend up to 5 minutes in his presence, so the period of observation was short. But he did notice that some of her wrinkles had disappeared in that short period.

As one of the best hunters in the tribe, he is very observant. He noticed the strange changes in Warshaw. She looked better by the time she left. It was small and almost unnoticeable, but it formed a stark contrast with his memory of how she looked yesterday morning when she visited him to tell him that he would die.

She was a wrinkled and hunched old woman yesterday. She might have gone crazy and gained a false sense of strength, but her wrinkles shouldn’t be healing. It made him curious, so he decided to honor their arrangement quickly.

He didn’t join in the laughter or the conversation. He stood up and returned to his house to pack up. Then he made his way to the Shaman’s encampment.

—-To Be Chief.

Warshaw dragged Axec along to her encampment. She wasn’t truly dragging Axec, as she is not strong enough for that. It was Axec humoring her. And that was only after Warshaw had whispered to her, “Don’t worry. The gods have a plan for you. They have a plan for all of us. As long as we obey them, everything will be fine.”

Axec didn’t know what to say about such a claim. Things become complicated when the gods are brought into any conversation. To refuse the claim that the gods have a plan is the same as saying the gods don’t exist or that the gods exist but are too stupid to have plans. Those are both blasphemy that is punishable by death.

So Axec wasn’t going to refute. She was going to allow the crazy Shaman to drag her to the encampment. Then she would slip away and escape. Odds are that the shaman would have forgotten about her by tomorrow morning.

But her plans changed when they finally reached the encampment. Axec felt a heat sweep through her whole body. Then the heat settled deep within her. It coalesced into a single point and made a cool sensation flood her body.

The cool sensation was clearly from an energy outside her body that she didn’t know existed until that moment. This energy was rushing into her body to reach the heat spot within her. It cooled her body and gave her a sense of bliss.

It was as if she were being embraced by the softest and best fur coat. It was everything good, and most importantly, it filled her with strength.

Axec stood frozen as these sensations went through her. Warshaw smirked to herself when she saw Axec’s blissful eyes. She has experienced the same thing just recently, so she knew what had happened to the young warrior.

Meanwhile, Legion received a notification.

-You have used blessing on Axec. -1 DE.

It cost them 1 Divine Energy to ordain a new chief. It is a vastly cheaper option than what it would cost them to heal Hoggings or to kill the blasphemous council member. Axec will kill the blasphemous council member for them so they don’t have to spend 45 energy points right

now.

They are confident of this because of Axec’s new stats.
